Almonds

[Jeanie]

I have been craving almonds lately and was wondering if I could have them as a snack? I know they are good for you but are they good after surgery?

You are about 8 weeks out and if you have been on solid food for at least a week I would say it is fine as long as you chew chew chew. I love nuts and I started at about 9 week out and had no issues unless i didnt chew them enough.

I'm only 2 weeks earlier than you and I've been eating nuts since week 8

I'm 5 weeks out and eating nuts. I saw my surgeon today and he said the best buts to eat are pistachios or almonds. Almonds you can have 14 for a serving and pistachios you can have twice that he said as they are lower in calories and fat. Hope that helps!
